Scientists tracking the populations of certain freshwater fish have found an increase in the female to male ratio of several sma

ller fish species over the last 10 years. One group of scientists have analyzed the data and hypothesized that medications in wastewater have contributed to this change in fish populations. Another group of scientists have hypothesized that this population trend is part of a cycle related to climate and ecosystem changes. If these two groups of scientists have access to the same population data, why have they formed two very different hypotheses?

A hypothesis tries to explain a data at hand. It is an educated guess which is testable and falsifiable. To test a hypothesis scientists carry out experiments following the scientific protocol. Based on the data obtained in the controlled experiments hypothesis are either proven correct or incorrect.

I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that <span>they formed two very different hypotheses since it is what they saw according to what they knew. Also hypothesis is just an intelligent guess.</span>

Drag each characteristic to the correct category.

Answer/Explanation

Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:

  • has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a<u> protein capsid </u>and sometimes a lipid membrane

Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:

  • made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are <u>not cellular</u>
  • uses energy  - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and <u>steal energy</u> from them in order to reproduce
  • exhibits growth and development - although viruses do <u>reproduce</u>, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
  • possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
  • eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added
Aleks [24]

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced.  The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = \frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45} =74.8 %.

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be determined by
Masteriza [31]
Option no. 2 subtracting the atomic number from the mass number

Example: Zn - 65 atomic weight or mass/mass number
                       30 atomic number
  
                 65-30 = 35 number of neutrons
